Product Description: Unlike most HBO series, Flight of the Conchords does not want to set the world on fire. It is droll and deadpan to beat the band. If you like Tenacious D, They Might Be Giants, Jonathan Richman, Leningrad Cowboys Go America, and silly Pythonian wordplay, then its off-center charms will definitely strike a resonant chord. The Conchords are comprised of funky, funny folk duo Bret McKenzie and mutton-chopped Jemaine Clement, transplanted New Zealanders trying to make it in New York. Brett, their incompetent manager, Murray (Rhys Darby) notes, has "the right attitude," while Jemaine has "what I like to call, 'the wrong attitude.'" (Murray, who works out of the New Zealand consulate, makes the clueless agent in Extras look like Ari Gold.) Stardom eludes the band. They have one fan, Mel (Kristin Schaal), whose seething husband chaperones her while she stalks them (by season's end, even she will desert them). Financially strapped, they live in squalor and are forced to film a music video with a cell-phone camera. The dense Jemaine is a damper on Brett's love life (he derisively calls Coco, Brett's new girlfriend, "Yoko"). But from their mundane lives springs their inspired music, and it is during each episode's musical numbers that Conchords really takes flight. Sample lyrics: "You're so beautiful / You could be a hostess in the '60s"; and "I'm not crying / It's just been raining / On my face." Another mad highlight is "Bowie to Bowie" in the episode in which Brett is visited by visions of Bowie in his various career incarnations (portrayed by a dead-on Clement). But the dialogue, too, sings with an inspired, surreal lunacy. One exchange between Brett and Murray degenerates into a chicken-egg discussion over a job vs. a gig. HBO has renewed Flight of the Conchords for a second season. Bravo! As a greeting-card executive (The Daily Show's John Hodgman), who wants to license one of their tracks, tells the duo, "I believe in potential. I can see it in you guys." --Donald Liebenson
Customer Reviews

5 stars Just Histerical
I caught a few epsoides on HBO and decided I needed to buy the first season and watch it. I loved how quickly it arrived and on my day off so I had a chance to watch much of it. They are soooooooo funny I LOVE this show if you purchase it you will not be disappointed!

The Manager Murrry - God bless him he tries to jump start their carrer and you root for them. They live in the poorest part of Brooklyn have one married psycho groupie who follows them with her lappy husband with the craziest songs. I can go on and on but if you like dry humor and crisp dialouge this is for you.


5 stars Flight of the Conchords ROCKS!! (or FOLKS)
Hilarious! It's day-to-day funny and completely unrealistic at the same time. It's not just a showcase for their comedic music. Awesome acting and awkward moments abound! Come on, the stalker has an enabling husband... I'm still laughing - "There's no party like my nanna's tea party.. Hey Ho"


5 stars Laugh out loud funny
I first saw the band Flight of the Conchords on a half hour long HBO comedy special. I was very impressed by their witty song lyrics and clever banter on stage. When it was over I remember thinking that I would be hearing more from these two brilliant comedians.
A few years later I caught a preview for their new series and I was ecstatic. I caught the first episode the night it premiered and have been a fan ever since.
Everything I loved about their stand up act has been perfectly translated into half hour long episodes of pure genius. This show makes me laugh so hard that tears stream down my face and that happens frequently.


5 stars Tape of Love
This DVD is the absolute must have. Flight of the Conchords is easliy the funniest thing I've seen in ages!


5 stars Hilarity!
If you haven't heard of the Flight of the Conchords yet, you must be living under a rock. They are a fantastic "two-man novelty band" whose hilarious songs will get stuck in your head and whose shows will have you quoting silly lines for weeks. The characters show a great mix of naiveté and depth as they navigate through life in New York City. If you enjoy a goofy sense of humor and clever jokes, you'll enjoy this DVD. Look for them on Youtube to get a sense of their comedy. I recommend searching for "It's Business Time". I'm eagerly awaiting their second season!!!
